Turntable Tuesday and the polarising power of technology
Turntable Tuesday saw Technics and Reloop bust out there opposing takes on what DJs want. But these are for different people. Allow me to explain.

Yesterday Technics played safe with the launch of the SL-1210 MK7. Today, Reloop has gone balls out with the Serato DJ Pro fuelled RP-8000 MK2.
Given the veritable carpet bombing of social media with DJs pumping out routines, there needs to be something more to capture our attention. For me, being DJ Angelo is enough, but he's now raised the stakes by adding an extra pair of turntables but keeping the same number of arms.
Reloop did get the memo about controllers killing turntables, but that didn't stop them merging old and new to make the RP-8000 turntable. Review follows.
If you're in the market for those cool new Reloop turntables, why not match them up with Ortofon based Reloop cartridges too. They're in shops now.
There wasn't a demo before, but there is now. Reloop's poster boy DJ Angelo stole my demo RP-8000 turntables just so he could record this video.
Many of you have craved the Reloop RP-8000 MIDI turntables since seeing them at BPM. And now you can have them. They're in shops now... ish.
Finally, someone has got the nuts to bring out a new deck. And the Reloop RP-8000 MIDI turntable is the deck you've been looking for.
